    Selling my Silver & Black 2010 Shelby GT500 - Houston, TX area

    It saddens me to have to sell my baby, but finances are what they are and other priorities have come up. Tastefully modified to around 620 RWHP without compromising ride quality or reliability. I just listed the car at cars.com, but I’d rather sell to someone here and the listing format is a...

    Houston Storefront with AN Fuel Fittings?

    Does anyone know anywhere around Houston I could physically go to and buy stocked AN fittings? I know this is the Internet age and all, but I’m still finding it surprisingly difficult to find any local parts vendors that carries these. I can’t always wait a couple days to source a part I...

    Fuel Rail Fitting under Whipple inlet

    I recently installed a Gen 2 Whipple 2.9L with fore rails using a rear fuel line crossover from the driver side rail (rear) to the front of the passenger side rail. Unfortunately I think the driver rear rail-to-hose fuel fitting may have a slight leak... Per the install instructions, the...

    WTB Whipple 2.9 Supercharger

    ***UPDATE: I purchased SCGallo2's Whipple 2.9L. This thread can be considered closed. Thanks!*** I technically only need the head unit, but will consider package options if preferable to the seller. I own a 2010, but I can source 2010-specific mounting hardware if the supercharger is coming...

    VMP Gen-II R vs. 13/14 OEM TVS

    I need to replace a seized Gen 2 (non-R) on my 2010 and have basically decided on a Gen-II R or an OEM 13/14 TVS. I'm curious as to the power difference between these two, as I believe the original Gen 2 had a slight advantage, but I know there are users out there making 650 whp pretty easily...

    Engine locked up...

    After buttoning everything up post valve cover swap I cranked it up to top off coolant since I changed coolant tanks also. Ran for about 2 minutes - long enough for idle to smooth out - and then I heard a loud, abrupt squeal (belt I suppose) and the engine stopped like it hit a wall. I topped...

    What do you do about dust?

    This is probably a dumb question... but what does everyone do about dust when prepping and sealing/waxing their cars? Ideally you wash, the car instantly dries, and you can apply your sealant/wax/ceramic whatever in a clean room before a single spec of dust lands on the paint. In reality, to...

    Valve cover swap in humid garage

    How long can I have a valve cover off in a Houston garage before I need to start worrying about corrosion? There was still an oil sheen from running it 3 days before I got the driver side off (now a week ago), but I straight up exhausted myself getting to that point and had to walk away and sleep.

    Dumping the GT500 platform

    I’m looking for suggestions from others who have gone from modding Shelby’s to modding GT’s. I wish I would’ve realized this about $20,000 in parts earlier, but after doing the math I’m realizing it’s far cheaper - and easier - per hp to start with the more established base car. The niche...

    Brake Booster Removal Procedure

    Anyone out there know where I might find a write up on how to pull a 2010 brake booster? I’m coming up dry. I’m working up the willpower to finally swap valve covers... there are good write-ups out there that step out how to do it by loosening the booster a bit, but those procedures also need...

    Alternatives to BMR Upper?

    Just looking for some feedback on any alternatives to BMR for my upper control arm (2010). They seem to be the hot item right now but I’m sure they have some competition somewhere. I actually ordered the BMR with HD mount, but they sent the lowers instead and I’m getting nowhere on...

    Houston Area Driveline Shop

    My stocker throw-out bearing is on its way out, and that’s one job I think I’ll pass on to the pros. Since my 2010 has 62,000 and a VMP Gen 2 I’m going to go ahead and do the clutch also. Does anyone know of a shop in the Houston area I can trust? There’s gotta be one Shelbys in the area...

    Looking for a mint or near-mint set of recaro seat skins for ‘11-14 GT500, either all black or black with silver stripes. Only need the fronts but will pay for full set if needed. If they are black with silver stripes I technically only need the drivers seat, but again, can pay for full set if...

    Larger pulley or pull timing?

    I find myself at a crossroads many gt500 owners often do, looking at a pullied / intake / tuned car making 550 or so, wanting more, but not necessarily 200 more. A very modest blower upgrade jumps that straight to 670-700 RWHP with a standard Gen 2. I was shocked by the improved throttle...

    I just purchased the wire-in version used but I’m having second thoughts about splicing wires to cut costs. Simple enough but not necessary. WTB a new or used DUAL Kenne Bell BAP with plugs-n-play harnesses, typically fits ‘07-‘14 I believe. Thanks.

    Vibration issues

Vibration starts IN GEAR at approx 3k (barely noticeable), significant at 4k+. Same with every gear. 2. Clutch pedal vibration starts...

    Notable Suspension shops in Houston, TX

    I really don't know where to start on this one, so any contact info/advice would be much appreciated. At this point, I'm only looking for a shop to weld in off-the-shelf rear susp. parts - a panhard bar, torque arm, subframe connectors, and an adjustable rear swaybar. I'm not looking for a...
